I was thinking of mounting the lip on the car and then jbweld a piece of welding rood along the inside lip to keep it ridged.

Yep. I was going to put an EK Si lip on my sedan, but once i compared it to the CTR OEM lip, the CTR just looks so much better; just a pain when u have to pay so much for shipping to get to Australia!

The only thing I would say is to have a panel beater paint the lip 'twice' and then put the coat of clear on top. If you don't put 2 coats on, it could start to crack and then it'll just be a waste of ur time & money cause you'll have to do it again.

Good luck mate,

Well not having any luck on the OEM lip. Mine has to many scratches on it to paint and look good. And honda canada is on back order for the lip and possible discountinued. I was looking at the spoon replica in urathane but i sort of wish it was 1/2" small would look more suttle. Im not sure now **** this sucks i wanna paint the parts this week lol.

Yeh, nothing beats OEM mate - I tried the cheap replicas and it's just not worth it... but at least ur closer to the States than me - I had to order my 98 OEM CTR front lip from the US (optionsauto.com), which they had to order from Veilside in Japan - and took 6 weeks to get to Australia! But I can tell you, it is so worth the wait...haven't fitted it yet, but have some pics in my album

Ha ... never mind the waves ... what about the cross on the hood? Is that etched in with a grinding wheel? You really do love Jesus ... here I thought you were just being facetious. Do you have a Jesus bobble head on your dash, too? That would be a trip!

To the OP: Have you tried the junkyards? I've found a few OEM ones on Coupes and such at yards. I just leave em there now, I see so many of them. Might try your luck around Ottawa.

no, no bobble head. the cross is more tan paint. im not sure what i was going to do with the hood. tan? or chalk slate paint and write scripture all over the hood.
JESUS saved my life in iraq 2x in ways people just dont get it how it happened. after seeing death, life changes real quick
*edit* i was talking about seeing others die, dont be rude
